Fast of the Tenth of Tevet during Pregnancy
Question
Hello Rabbi,
My wife is 10 weeks pregnant and overall feels well, though naturally weaker than usual. Should she fast on the Tenth of Tevet?
Answer
Hello,
A pregnant woman does not fast on the Tenth of Tevet. In our times, all are considered 'greatly distressed' and are therefore exempt.
